Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: J at none against Neo SOUND WAVE's 1. J also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Neo SOUND WAVE's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (34% vs 25%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
